• maintain the continuity of the bumper line and the aesthetics of the bodywork.

Color and visual fit

The finish in Deep Sea Blue Metallic - A76 allows for a consistent match with the body paint in the same color code. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs or when replacing individual bumper components, where maintaining a uniform color without the need for additional painting is a priority.

The metallic shade provides the characteristic depth and gloss typical of factory BMW paints, which positively influences the visual perception of the entire rear section of the vehicle.

Characteristics of the used component

The cover comes from the secondary market, meaning it is a used part that retains its original geometry and mounting method. This type of component is a good choice for vehicle maintenance when the priority is to maintain factory fitment and reduce repair costs compared to new parts.

Choosing an original, used bumper cover allows you to maintain compatibility with other body components without the need for modifying the bumper structure or mounting points.

• Factory fitment – a component designed for a specific model, with no compromises in terms of geometry and alignment.
• Visual consistency – color compatibility with the body paint in the Deep Sea Blue Metallic - A76 code.
